[QUOTE="hvrtaxi, post: 1073844, member: 20436"] I have a 2006 AE and I love it. Really love it. I went AE simply because it was the first FJR that I found that met all my criteria ( very low mileage, etc.). I would make the same purchase again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would do differently would be to get the Yamaha Warranty. I commute a lot in DC traffic and having the AE has been awesome. Repeat. Awesome. I've been stuck in slowly moving traffic up to three hours (not awesome) that would have humbled me on a clutch. The lack of a clutch handle in heavy traffic is probably the single biggest pro for my AE. The biggest negative for me is the loss of fidelity at super slow speeds. I've taken several AMF safety classes and I find it a challenge to work 'with' the computer for clutch control. Like anything else, it takes practice. If I was offered two identical FJRs (AE and A) it would be a really tough call. However, due to my commute I would probably get the AE but would be totally happy being a caveman again too. What a great dilemma! [/QUOTE]
